Question

I am working on the admin section of a new rails app and i’m trying to setup some routes to do things ‘properly’. I have the following controller:

class Admin::BlogsController < ApplicationController   def index     @blogs = Blog.find(:all)   end    def show     @blog = Blog.find(params[:id])   end    ... end 

in routes.rb:

map.namespace :admin do |admin|   admin.resources :blogs end 

in views/admin/blogs/index.html.erb:

<% for blog in @blogs %>   <%= link_to 'Delete', admin_blog(blog), :method => :delete <% end %> 

i have verified that the routes exist:

admin_blogs GET /admin/blogs {:action => 'index', :controller=>'admin/blogs'} admin_blog  GET /admin/blogs/:id {:action => 'show', :controller => 'admin/blogs'} .... 

but when i try to view http://localhost:3000/admin/blogs i get this error:

undefined method 'admin_blog' for #<ActionView::Base:0xb7213da8> 

where am i going wrong and why?

Answer 1

Your Delete link should end in _path:

<%= link_to 'Delete', admin_blog_path(blog), :method => :delete %>
